Treating individuals with Alzheimer's disease necessarily involves guiding and supporting their caregivers as well. Stress and depression can take a toll on those who tend to the daily needs of Alzheimer patients. Unaddressed, these problems can affect the caregivers' performance and, in turn, the well-being of the people they care for.
This subsection offers suggestions on how to help your patients' caregivers deal with the challenges of providing care. It also offers tip sheets on caring for individuals with Alzheimer's that you can print out and share with your patients' caregivers.
